ACAT Assessments: The Ultimate Checklist for Seniors
What to prepare before your meeting with the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
Preparing for Your ACAT Assessment
An ACAT assessment is the gateway to government-funded aged care services. Being prepared can help ensure you receive the correct level of support.
Preparation Checklist
- Medical Reports: Have a list of your current medications and letters from your GP or specialists.
- Safety Needs: Think about tasks you struggle with (e.g., showering, cleaning, cooking).
- Emergency Contacts: Have details for your primary carer or next of kin ready.
- Medicare Card: Essential for identification.
Remember, the goal of the assessment is to identify how to help you stay safe and independent.
